The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched an initiative entitled “Enhancing OutREACH to Vulnerable Workers and Underserved Communities,” the agency announced January 29, 2024. The agency’s newest commissioner, Kalpana Kotagal, will lead the initiative. The initiative will include in-person and virtual listening sessions with stakeholders throughout the country to identify barriers to reporting discrimination, development of recommendations on effective outreach strategies, and an enhanced presence in rural areas and areas far from EEOC offices.
